<div class="IPBDescription">thread. <(o.o)> <---yoda says.</div> i'm sad. it was a good thread. i think we should be a bit more lenient, especially since that thread wasn't all too serious about encouraging drug use.
The only significance of 420 is that it is the Police's call # for the offence of smoking weed (or similar). So...what's to celebrate exactly, on the 20th of the 4th? That if you happen to be partaking in the consumption of marijuana then you're in danger of getting arrested?

Ok Kida, I'll answer. I understand why you wanted the thread to stay unlocked. But Trev didn't even TRY to give the thread a point. They could have locked it for pure spam and off-topicness, because no topic was provided...explicitly.
So yeah, I get it, but really man what is the point.
It was spam technically. It is, after all, 4:20 twice a day every day so you can't really claim today has any special meaning.
Just be thankful it was posted at all - I think that within the constraints of its subject (um...that its the 20th of April) all that needed to be said was said before the topic was locked.

Anyway Destroyer is right. Drugs are stupid and pointless. They lead you nowhere and some of my friends were crushed under their weight, with me almost going with them had I been an idiot and made the same choices.
A few of my friends in edinburgh turned to the pot side... I don't really bother with them much anymore. They're usually too busy saving their money to buy more weed or just too lazy (thanks to being stoners) to bother going anywhere or doing anything interesting. Heck we can't even play games without them stopping to have a joint every few minutes.
If people want to mess with that stuff it's up to them but I don't think they realise how boring it makes them :/

I'd beg to differ and suggest that drugs are <i>not</i> pointless, though they are not a way of life as many seem to find them to be. Like most things, drugs are just a tool - they narf with your brain in a way I like to think of as 'stretching' the boundaries so they are more elastic and less dead-set, but the problem is knowing when to stop and just take a break before it becomes your way of life.
Having said that I know many people for whom drugs would be a bad thing, but alcahol (also a drug, don't forget) also has very negative effects on some people, while positive for others.
Like most things on the planet, drugs occupy the 'grey' space - they are neither good nor bad (with possible exceptions). Marijuana is deemed the most harmless of common illegal drugs, but even that has potential to screw with your life. Personally I've found the drug to appeal to my lazy nature, which is in direct opposition to my nature of wanting to do something with my life - hence why I'm trying to, excuse the pun, weed it out of my activities (which if you've ever been stoned for a deal of time you will find wonderfully refreshing I should add). <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I should point out for anyone who doesn't realise, these are *my* opinions - even though I'm stating them as if they were fact, that doesn't mean I'm right. By no means do I mean to encourage the use of drugs either. Whether or not you decide to tinker with your body chemistry is up to you, and just because it works out for a friend or someone else you know, it doesn't mean it'll work out for you. If anyone should be even curious about taking any kind of drug then please <b>research it!</b> before using it.
Incidently, <a href='http://www.talktofrank.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.talktofrank.com/</a> seems like a very informative source of information on this kind of thing, giving a rounded objective view of most drugs and is also a place to go to find help for any problem you might have. This is a UK site so bear that in mind.
For the record, <a href='http://www.freevibe.com' target='_blank'>http://www.freevibe.com</a> (The US's equivelent of TTF) is a boiling pot of misinformation and scare tactics - if you want to be treated like an intelligent individual, go elsewhere.
Yes, and let's not forget those wonderful times bands like Black Sabbath could barely make it through a set because they'd taken so many legal and not so legal substances. Drugs are a grey area, as Merkaba said. Lots of good things (for some...) and lots of bad things (for most...). There's barely even a point in arguing it. Like most touchy subjects, people will dig in their heels, and punch themselves in the face repeatedly to defend their point with no budging. (Who was it I stole that from, anyway? The punching...)
To quote Tool quoting Bill Hicks, (or just to quote Bill Hicks I suppose)
"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't think drugs have done good things for us, do me a favour - go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs, and burn them. Cos you know what? The musicians who made all that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years...........are real ***ing high on drugs."
Bill's 'Positive drug story' on the news: "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."
"It's not a war on drugs it's a war on personal freedom - keep that in mind at all times, thankyou."
These three quotes taken from Tool - Third Eye (which in turn are taken from various Hicks material) FTW.

Common mistake.
The true origination of the name came from a group of people that would "light up" at 4:20pm after school. 420 is NOT the police call.
